February 2005

Two new relationships began: Shiro Yoshida and Clarice Ferguson and Wanda Maximoff and Dr. Stephen Strange. Danielle Moonstar was offered work by Henry McCoy and began to think about the future of her child. Lorna Dane was reinstated to active duty on the X-Men, Marie-Ange Colbert was made a trainee and in New Orleans Tante Mattie was able to help Marie-Ange with her precognition and Amanda Sefton with her magic - in return, the pair, plus Remy LeBeau, thwarted a mutant hive-mind with plans of infecting Marti Gras. Jay Guthrie asked Amanda to use her magic to let him talk to his dead lover Kevin Cabot and get some closure. The spell drained her so much Hank imposed a 'no asking Amanda for spells' ban, which infuriated the young witch, and Moira MacTaggart later found evidence of brain damage. A replacement for Rory Campbell was found: Curt Connors.

Nathan Dayspring's old 'friend' Colin MacInnis reappeared, this time calling for help as his helicopter was shot down by Mistra operatives in pursuit of a group of rescued children. What started as a simple rescue mission became a combat situation as the Mistra operatives pursued them. Nathan used the Trojan Horse trigger to break the conditioning of the leader, Tim Morgan and take him down; the rest of the team escaped, but their conditioning was cracked. The children and Morgan were brought back to the mansion, with one of them Talia Lewis, remaining at the school as her parents were found to have been killed.

Hank had a rather disastrous date that turned out to be far more serious as it became known that he'd contracted some kind of condition that was re-writing his DNA and affecting his mental faculties. At the same time Haroun al-Rashid was experiencing problems with his hormone implant as the result of his relationship with Alison Blaire. Moira returned from Muir Island to help Madelyn Bartlet find a cure for Hank and to spread some of the load.

Remy used the DVD of the November incident sent to Amanda and Manuel de la Rocha on Valentine's Day to track down the link to the death of Pete Wisdoms father - Alphonso de la Rocha. Passing the information to Scott Summers, he warned him of the consequences of Pete finding out the truth, however Scott choose to pass on the information any way. Pete knocked him unconscious and fled the mansion, intent on killing the man who had his father murdered.
